Dave’s Comments (Digital Marketing Tutorial Blog): A really interesting article for B2B marketers, especially the similarity found in user interaction with the search results page between B2B and consumer search. An insightful, quick read.

The study found that general search engines topped the list of research sources throughout the purchase cycle, from awareness, through research, negotiation and purchase phases. However, many buyers move toward vertical search engines as they get closer to making a buying decision.”
